Networks and attack surfaces are changing fast – there’s so much more than servers and endpoints. Now, you’re responsible for securing everything from cloud platforms to DevOp containers to web apps. Cyber Exposure is an emerging discipline for measuring and managing cyber risk across this modern attack surface. This ebook takes a close look at Cyber Exposure, including the Cyber Exposure gap created by legacy security offerings and the Cyber Exposure platform designed to protect all computing assets. If you’re responsible for guarding your organization’s fast-changing assets, this ebook is a must-have.

When it comes to IT infrastructure, it’s fair to say the perimeter has left the premises. Whether it’s discovering short-lived assets (e.g., containers), assessing cloud environments or maintaining web application security, today’s attack surface presents a growing challenge to CISOs looking to understand and reduce their cyber risk. To combat this issue, a discipline called Cyber Exposure is emerging to help organizations manage and measure this risk. This ebook provides insights on how CISOs are addressing the modern attack surface.

Cloud has become a crucial foundation for digital transformation (DX) initiatives and is shaping the IT strategy of enterprises today. Companies are extending their IT infrastructure into the cloud for running business-critical applications, developing new applications, and delivering new cloud-based services. Applications are the lifeblood of modern enterprises. They are the foundation on which businesses maintain their existing revenue streams while examining ways to create new ones. A sound application strategy is a must for frms to be successful in expanding their competitive differentiation in the digital economy. Operating systems (OSs) provide a common foundational layer that enables IT to run current and new generations of applications in traditional IT environments, on its own private cloud, and in public clouds and utilize a variety of computing options such
as bare metal, virtualization, and containerization. The increased reliance of IT on the cloud has accelerated the

The primary purpose of containerized applications is to improve the effectiveness of software teams, making it easier for people to work together while lowering the communications overhead. In large enterprises, applications such as ERP or CRM software suites often begin as simple projects, but as time passes, they quickly become clunky and inefficient, with a monolithic code base that slows progress for development teams.

Find out how your organisation can gain access to technologies that re-invigorate the apps they run today and set them up to build groundbreaking new applications using containers and microservices architectures.

The world of IT is undergoing a digital transformation. Applications are growing fast, and so are the users consuming them. These applications are everywhere—in the datacenter, on virtual and/or microservices platforms, in the cloud, and as SaaS. More and more apps are now being moved out of datacenters to a cloud-based infrastructure.
In order for an optimized and secure delivery of these applications, IT needs specific network appliances called Application Delivery Controllers (ADCs). These ADCs come in hardware, virtual, and containerized form factors, and are sized by Network Administrators based on the current and future usage of applications. The challenge with this is that it’s hard to foresee sizing or scalability requirements for these ADCs since users are constantly increasing, and applications are consistently evolving, as well as moving out of datacenters.
Complicating matters, most ADCs are fixed-capacity network appliances that provide zero or minimum expansion capability

Information technology is racing ahead with a Moore’s law-like inexorability and compounding rate. While it’s impossible to know what’s next, it's possible to get out of reactive mode and get ahead of the game. And that doesn’t mean simply focusing on practices like DevOps or technologies like cloud adoption and container stack selection.

Large enterprises are exploring the possibilities enabled by emerging container technologies such as Docker. At Juniper, we see this trend as a milestone in data center innovation, offering significant gains in efficiency, productivity, and agility for large enterprises that offer cloud as a service.

In time, containers will be the means by which all workloads are deployed on server platforms. It makes too much sense. Constructing fake machines around virtual workloads, just to make them portable across servers, was not the architecturally rational thing to do. It was the expedient thing to do, because cloud platforms had not yet evolved to where they needed to be.
This book presents a snapshot of the emerging approaches to container monitoring and distributed systems management that engineers and their customers are building together.

In its quest to increase agility and reliability, IT is adopting cloud services and related technologies like PaaS, micro-services, and containers to rapidly deliver applications that scale to real-world conditions.
Application topology is often transient and unpredictably interrelated with countless other applications and services. This poses a serious challenge for performance monitoring since most techniques are still rooted to tiers or servers.
During this webinar, discover:
• The benefits and challenges of deploying apps across hybrid environments
• Techniques that expose major, but often undiagnosed problems
• Real-world examples where major performance issues were resolved"

Learn the recommendations to meet the following challenges:
Financial services firms are deploying private clouds and PaaS to improve IT manageability and to empower developers, but still need to manage and monitor legacy environments and third party applications
Many firms are adopting PaaS to manage microservices and break down legacy applications into discrete components, resulting in many more endpoints to make discoverable, secure, connect, manage and monitor
Applications and container technologies deployed on the PaaS may lack the ability to generate “machine data”--detailed information on memory utilization, system resources, endpoint analysis and other critical monitoring statistics

This report provides a detailed overview of the Linux container ecosystem. It explains the various components of container technology and analyzes the ecosystem contributions from companies to accelerate the adoption of Linux-based containers.

Containers are certainly a hot topic. The OpenStack® User Survey indicates over half of the respondents are interested in containers in conjunction with their OpenStack clouds for production uses. Thanks to new open source initiatives, primarily Docker, containers have gained signicant popularity lately among Developer and Ops communities alike.

In a world characterized by increased virtualization, cloud computing, software-defined networking (SDN), and DevOps — and now containers and microservices — having comprehensive visibility into every flow and packet metadata is essential. This paper examines the need for and business value of pervasive, real-time visibility across the datacenter network. It also looks at the role of Cisco in the market for real-time datacenter analytics solutions.

12 Steps for Addressing Container Security
Containers are an integral tool for most DevOps. While containers themselves do not have inherent security issues, they are often deployed unsecurely, causing security issues around vulnerabilities, visibility, compromise and compliance. How can the DevOps team looking for increased agility work with more closely with the security team looking for reduced risk?
